The white people should go back to Europe, and the country should be returned to the American Indians. This is the future I would like to see for the so-called United States.Collection: Future
I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts.Collection: Sports
I want to see the U.S. wiped out. Death to the U.S.Collection: Death
The U.S. and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians, just slaughtering them, for years. Robbing them and slaughtering them.

Nothing is so healing as the human touch.

Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.
America is totally under control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they're doing in Yugoslavia.
I was never invited to the White House. They invited that Olympic Russian gymnast - that little Communist, Olga Korbut.
All that matters on the chessboard is good moves.
I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
When I won the world championship, in 1972, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, a baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.

My main interest right now is to expose the Jews. This is a lot bigger than me. They're not just persecuting me. This is not just my struggle, I'm not just doing this for myself...

They're all weak, all women. They're stupid compared to men. They shouldn't play chess, you know. They're like beginners. They lose every single game against a man. There isn't a woman player in the world I can't give knight-odds to and still beat.Collection: Stupid
The United States is an illegitimate country, just like Israel. It has no right to exist. That country belongs to the Red man, the American Indian... It's actually a shame to be a so-called American, because everybody living there is a usurper, an invader taking part in this crime, which is to rob the land, rob the country and kill all the American Indians.Collection: Country
I object to being called a chess genius because I consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. A piece of garbage like Kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he's like an idiot savant. Outside of chess he knows nothing.Collection: Play

Too many times, people don't try their best. They don't have the keen spirit; the winning spirit. And once you make it you've got to guard your reputation - every day go in like an unknown to prove yourself. That's why I don't clown around. I don't believe in wasting time. My goal is to win the World Chess Championship; to beat the Russians. I take this very seriously.Collection: Success
I don't like American girls. They're very conceited, you know. In Europe they're more pleasant.Collection: Girl
I like to make them squirm.Collection: Psychology
